Sins of a Solar Empire Huge Battle

[snipa66]

i must say they screwed up on the plant part of this game :(

[benjamin5028]

Both great games, but Sins can take several hours or even days to finish 1 game. Homeworld 2 never more than a few hours. Homeworld 2 allows 25 cap ships, sins allows only 16. There are mods and trainers that allow unlimited cap ships but your PC will lag badly or even become unplayable if you push it to far.  Can not use in multiplayer though there might be work arounds for private lan setups.

[beatfirestorm]

what races were you you using

[radu1205834]

huge battles are chaotic...I modified the game so I have smaller fleets, but the ships are more powerfull..and I decresed their speed a lot too..cause I like slower games...and now I can really use tactics in a "30 ships" versus "30 ships" battle....because in these huge fleet battles with soo many ships there are no tactics that can be used

[GameloverEnjoyer]

@radu1205834 I like insane games, but insane Sins of a Solar Empire AI are just too insane that drives me insane. :S

[kahetel13]

lol if i were Fraps, id go on strike also:) great vid and awesome battle . oh by the way did you pour water on your computer after that? im sure you probably cooked dinner on it first :)

[Zamolxx]

Awesome vid dude

[Loz8900]

So honestly, which is better. This or Homeworld 2? Cause I have Homeworld 2 and love it

[unarmedcivilian]

@Loz8900

I like this a lot, but am presently playing lots of starcraft 2

[Loz8900]

@unarmedcivilian I want to play starcraft 2, but can't cause my comp sucks, lol

[unarmedcivilian]

@Loz8900

You'd be surprised! The game scales down pretty good for older computers.

[Loz8900]

@unarmedcivilian I might give it a try then. Do you know if there's a demo of it out so i can try it before i install it? Cause i only have a 2.0 ghz processor, 512mb of ram, and a 128mb Geforce MX4000 video card. So i don't really want to buy it then find out it can't scale down quite enough, lol

[jacobgovan]

@unarmedcivilian thats true but then every time you get back to the ship it is so slow its hard to buy stuff and what not.

[theweed33]

@Loz8900 i can play this on a netbook at lowest setting almost without lag at all

[Loz8900]

@theweed33 This? Or Starcraft 2?

[theweed33]

@Loz8900 sins of a solar empire admittedly i didnt play too many big battles and it is quite a good netbook but its still a netbook

[Loz8900]

@theweed33 I might try it out. I'm pretty sure i'll at least be able to play it a little bit. Homeworld 2 lags on me quite a bit at times, but maybe I'll have better luck with this

[thelittlemind]

@unarmedcivilian can i add you to friends list on sc2?

[GameloverEnjoyer]

@Loz8900 Homeworld 2 ships doesn't have shield and the battlefield is only an area of the galaxy which means the paste of the game is faster than Sins of Solar Empire. However Sins of Solar Empire is to conquer planets or maybe a system. Therefore the battlefield extends. But on another hand, Sins doesn't focus much on the fights (I can rarely see them though). So if you like epic fighting style from the fighters, homeworld should suit you. That's my opinion.

[Loz8900]

@GameloverEnjoyer Alright thanks. I still haven't checked it out, lol. Haven't had the time or money lately.

But thanks for the opinion. It helps me to decide if it's worth it. =D

[breakthro444]

@Loz8900 this is a very slow paced empire building game like total war. but when you create a fleat you can attack another planet in the solar system and in the bigger maps galaxy and it'll play out like homeworld 2. so if you are just the one who likes the fast-paced stuff: no. if you like building up and empire and taking out the enemy in a semi realistic fashion: yes.

[Loz8900]

@breakthro444 I like a kinda balance between the 2. Like for example Empire Earth. That's my fav strategy game. 

[ITmusicpage]

this game is amazing but i need to get the expansion

[MrCanadianComedian]

He had a lot of light carriers. You needed more Junsurak sentinels. The advent are the best late game, but in the early stages are very weak.

[BlackSeventful]

aww  no pew pew =(

[JorgeX66]

es una verga no se entiende nada

[SteroidalWinter]

i had 16 capital ships and 120 other ones that i dont remember versus 435 pirate ships and i slaughted them they lost all of their ships and i only lost 1 capital and 6 others

[J1a2s3o4n500]

wat someone needs to do is make some new textures for planets, each planet has about two textures and while there less noticalble on lifeless planets it really ruins the terran worlds for me as both terran textures have two continets which look roughly the same and is 80% water, add a little spice! like a Pangea or an arcipilago or why not try 80% land or something...c'mon Stardock, (and all you pro modders out there!)

[topcat2015]

As expected of the Advent. if manged correctly they can be a formidable opponent. their strength lies in their ability to field swarms of fighters and bombers. The Vasari tend to be weak in this area.

[NIsForNoobCakes]

That's a fuckload of Aerias.

[OmegaHunter24]

You can easily get waaaaaaay more ships than this if you spawn them all in galaxy forge. Though it really rapes your framerate...

[mhDarkWolf]

The 2nd song is totally in Plasma Pong... <.<

[seikous]

wow!

[sniperviper21]

Nice video ;)

check out mine, if you want.

[irongut12345]

lol your shitty army got pwned by the crappy advent.... fail

[set972]

advent arent bad at all....

[SYPHOFIGHTER]

It looks like a giant lazy grid, Were is Leon Kennedy when ya need him

[Nightraver2]

You had to get a fleet expanstion mod. I don't even think SOASE allows that many capital ships.

[unarmedcivilian]

@Nightraver2

No mods, max capital ships is 16 if I remember correctly :)

[XoRandomGuyoX]

Yeah, you get 16 capital ships(taking up 800 fleet supply) and up to 2,500 fleet supply with newer versions of the game. The Vasari can increase that with their Phasic Transmissions research tech. They need it since their ships take up a lot of supply.

[Vagyrnomad]

Excellent! if my fayv space combat game is HW2

Sinsofasolarempire is definitly my choice of 2nd fayv of them all. when i played sins ichose Advent

due to personal views. again may i compliment u on u're good taste in tunes which 2 me is critikly impotent keep on!

[set972]

THE ADVENT KILLED MY FAMILY DAMN YOU !!! YOU WILL PAY!!!!!! lol.....but seriously advent are an awesome race

[Argiespowers]

This game is really good...the best game in this kind that i ever played was Homeworld and Homeworld Cataclysm (the expansion) because has history and is really good,Sins of solar empire has good style,but were is the history? you only choose the race and is time to prepare for the combat...

[xXFuzzyheadXx]

I played this game a few times. Most potential is unused. Sure, it has a great gamestructure, ut the battles which are the main part of the game a too static. Ships just standing around and firering. It had been much better game if ships would fly around during battle.

If you like much more greater battles with more action look for Space Empires V. Not that good graphics but better action.

[Redhammer627]

I think the slow construction really show you how valuable these ships are, so don't lose them. You feel a greater sense of loss when you lose a fleet that took an hour+ to make, train, transport, and fight. Best Space RTS ever made...period.

[bigjoejoe18]

Sins of a Solar Empire is better

[TwadFeu]

I got both, they arent the same at all.

SSE is a bit "slower" gameplay-wise. Easier to handle, more accesible (IMHO)

While HW2 need you to be fast-thinking. And you gotta watch out cuz the game plays in 3D.

Both are very fun, btw. Huge battles are things of beauty for both (more for HW2, since there isnt nearly as much graphical noise from all the shots, abilities and such) But if he didnt like HW1, show him Sins first.

[Shunmaha]

For the battle graphics and beauty to just look at , I say homeworld 2 looks better too. (turret animations, Ion cannons)

[ElChorizoPatuano]

What's the name of the last song?

plz reply

[Jake6566]

i had a maxed out fleet and was playing against a hard vasari comp and my fleet got thoroughly fucked REALLY bad i had 16 capital ships and came out with like 5 ships

[Nettsapi]

Pick Sins of a solar empire, its a good game and he would like it, im sure ;)

[MeatstickRob88]

What is the second song called?

[ElChorizoPatuano]

The song name: Pompeii

Artist: ES Posthumus

[embrex104]

Homeworld 2 is much easier, but less action and less immersible.

[vitimancarmine]

this game would be soo much better if they increased production speed. i still love it how it is though

[embrex104]

Yep, even the producer said that they made it to take forever!

[BigRayRezonator]

i would have loved it if a maxed TEC fleet had dropped in t some point, oh man =P

[kyaknight]

OMG!! I really have nothing to say but awesome!

So many Gardians, it would be so hard to try to get a shot i^n...

[ThelastParatrooper]

oh my god he has so many guardian cruisers. trying to get a shot in must have been a pain in the ass.I think the advent do start out with a slight edge. There ships are just ungodly powerful when you upgrade them throughout the whole hostility tech tree. But good vid i think my computer would have died trying to do this.

[BjornTheDim]

Eh, forget the music in the video. I just started playing the menu theme.

[Lawfullmaster]

no the most annoying ability in the game is support ships, nearly makes it impossible to destroy ones fleet

[EZBruv]

If this SoaSE had an option where you could take control of an individual ship during a battle in FPS mode my life would be complete *drools*. Or the Ability to assign a mission objective then play either RTS or FPS mode O_O *braingasm*

[Luffy327]

or the ability to control a planets developement from the ground. Launch round invasions.

[woohoo4576]

or ground silos to launch nukes at invaders itd make the game so much easier

[superabrams]

dude he created a sheild nebula lol

[drunk168]

Think of the debris field afterwards... It would probably form a moon...

[richi1173]

Damn, you had no chance =[. Not only did guardians keep a consistent shield array, but with illuminators, god damn!!

[bleachguru]

Maybe if he had more phase missile tech he could have gotten around that little Guardian problem.

[joeyredsox123]

how do u do this

[senrat94]

Nice battle ive gotten into battles when me and my ally attacked our mutual enemy with huge fleets. And completely anhilated theyre huge fleet.

[Gam3sA10t]

oooooo those were carriers..hes spammed fighters and you didnt spam anti air.. Damn ; /. Computer? Cause my ai's do that alot too..

[unarmedcivilian]

Nah, was a person.

[DarthDarBinks]

advent are the best...

[unarmedcivilian]

They seem to be. that is for sure.

[bleachguru]

Really? The only real problem I have with the Advent is their culture overtaking mine. And personally I have always found Javilis to be more then a match for Illuminators but maybe thats me. The Vasari though who are supposed to be the most advanced out of all the races seem to be the weakest. I favor the TEC personally.

[Cordman1221]

Good point. I remember watching an enemy Advent completely thrash a Vasari fleet in an asteroid field. Bloody disaster, I mean, I think the Vasari fleet lost all it's capital ships before I could drop in my own.

[bleachguru]

The only thing the Vasari have going for them in any regard is their Phase tech. Nothing annoys one more then finding out the hard way that a Vasari empire has made its own complete phase highway capable of dropping off reinforcements at a moments notice. Those Kanrak Assailants also can quickly rip up a fleet if left unchecked for to long. they can take a surprising beating and deliver an even more surprising one. Phase Missiles = Most Annoying ability in the Game

[roboshark3]

awsome battle, but how did you take away the HUD?

[unarmedcivilian]

CTRL+SHIFT+Z I believe turns off the hud. May want to turn on cinematic mode first if you want EVERYTHING turned off.

[1ukdudecali]

this game pwned halo 3! i got my copy of it yesterday

[Purplekill1990]

@1ukdudecali dude this cant be compared to halo 3. they're completely different.

(I dont care if you posted this a year ago. It needed to be said)

[Stiensie]

@Purplekill1990 halo wars might get close cause its an rts. but comparing halo 3 with this? i lold

[IzoTarrok]

@Purplekill1990 but its still true ;D

[LordCHull]

@1ukdudecali cant really compare the two games one is an fps the other is an rts

[Specopleader]

@1ukdudecali This game is not related to Halo 3. It's a different genre too.

[IBOPOI]

You should turn off cinematic mode to see the team colors.. its a little hard to see whose army is dwindling and because you zoomed in a lot it was hard to see the progression of the entire battle as opposed to one ship blowing up =\. By the way, what did the winner of that battle have in his fleet? I saw a lot of Aeria drone hosts on one side mixed with a ton of infiltrator LRM's.

[KiIlerman]

ok thanx for the reply.

[KiIlerman]

i wanna have pew pew sounds =(

but great vid

but why you have so much little ships?

[unarmedcivilian]

I had the max amount possible, but they were mostly high unit costs, so less ships then his, which were lower unit cost and thus more units. His way worked better, more less powerful ships seemed to overpower fewer powerful ships.

[joacopela95]

man you totaly assraped them also by the way it was very kool

5 stars

[Break614]

Awsome battle, i like the explosions.

[Hypernerdwithcam]

i like vasari most

[hotbudah]

Is this Battlestar Galactica music?

[unarmedcivilian]

Well first song is from master and commander, second is from the Spiderman trailer and the last one is from Fight Club. BSG could of sampled the same songs, I am not sure.

[Abdy101]

lol, i love the beam weapons, especially on mass

great vid

[foreyesblind]

Epic video Taco, and gg :D. Was an awesome battle!

[thirishar]

Lawladin soldier

[AceRimmer1272]

LOL! So awesome!
